Photographer's Statement:

Seasons of Change: The Dynamics of Idaho’s Forests

When winter starts to come in then things get a lot colder. Water especially will freeze into ice, like so in the picture. So, when the water freezes it shows and builds a textured structure around the rock which adds sort of a story to the picture with its spiky, icy spreaded out surface.
